Reviewing Procedure
Each applicant has to indicate the CRG they want to be linked with, and the topic of research must fit in with the CRGS research. Each CRG nominates their one preferred candidate. The visiting fellowship committee checks the final selection in order to safeguard the program objectives (e.g. keeping eye on gender and geographic balance).
